John Wolz

The Mid-Atlantic Fasteners Distributors Association has been formed for the states of Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Delaware and Maryland.
The association�s first event is a golf outing on October 3, 2003, Lee Johnson Jr. of Lee S. Johnson Associates Inc. announced.\
After two years of planning, the association �is finally up and off the ground,� Johnson said. �We are currently looking for officers and members.�
Membership is open to fastener and industrial distributors, manufacturers, importers, reps and service providers to the fastener and industrial markets. There is a $100 initiation fee plus $50 in annual dues. This year�s dues will be waived for those joining by the end of 2003, Johnson said.
Johnson said the MAFDA is trying to limit membership to the four states. �We do not want to infringe on our neighboring associations,� he explained.
Neighboring associations include New York/New Jersey based Metropolitan Fastener Distributors Association, Cleveland-based North Coast Fastener Association and the Southeastern Fastener Association.
